How possible misconduct by the Anchorage police relates to Todd Palin and a prostitute's laptop, and why a federal inquiry is
needed

Just when things were getting dull, Sarah Palin felt a need on
Sean Hannity's show Thursday to compare Herman Cain's fidelity problems with
stories about Todd's prostitution peccadillos. And then she heatedly alluded to
Shailey Tripp's statement that she did not appear pregnant when Tripp gave her
a massage in early 2008. While Palin did not specifically name Tripp, it was
clear that's who she was talking about.

For those of you new to this, Shailey Tripp pled guilty to
engaging in prostitution at her massage parlor (although charges were later
dropped), and she claimed that Todd was one of the johns who paid her for sex.
The National Enquirer in its January 31 issue ran that allegation:

The Anchorage Police Department confiscated Tripp's laptop
computer and cell phone when they arrested her. Amazingly, that department sent
out a press release claiming they could attest that Todd was not a john because
they found no evidence he was. That press release was the basis of the
following story in the New York Daily News:

It's odd that the Anchorage police were acting like PR agents
for the Palins. What interest should the they have in rebutting stories about
the Palins in a national tabloid magazine? Moreover, the police later admitted that there was no firm basis for the assertion of Todd's innocence, because the police had not examined the contents of the laptop or the cell phone.

Furthermore, the police since June have refused to give Tripp
her laptop and cell phone back, despite explicit instructions from the judge
that they do so. The police department could face contempt of court charges if
it continues to defy the judge. Their refusal to release the property
raises the question of whether the police are trying to hide something.

The ability of local authorities to deal
evenhandedly with events that may relate to the Palins can no longer be taken
for granted. A federal investigation of the Palin-Tripp issue, plus others involving the Palins, is needed because the Palins may have compromised
or corrupted the Anchorage police, and perhaps other law enforcement bodies in
Alaska as well

Brad~RICCO!!! WooHoo, I just ♥ U~Yes the mighty grifter went on a huge rant last night.She VERIFIED Shays account. She gave a "Shout-out" to "Trig Truthers"...Wow. There is a goddess.Hope next is jail for her.Thanks to all of you who carry on! We must have a virtual Party when Palin is lead down the "perp" walk :)

Ivyfree - a scintilla of evidence is a phrase used by lawyers. I think they own it. It's a dead give away that the police released a statement written for them by the Palin's attorney.

Brad - "A federal investigation of the Palins is desperately needed" should become the Facebook Status for Truthers !!

(BTW I really think you got to Sarah and that's why the rant yesterday. I posted about it today ( "Shailey, Sarah and Ebonezer Scrooge" at thepalinplace.blogspot.com ). She kept saying Herman Cain will be in trouble if it's proven he MISLEAD the PUBLIC. Ha!
